The AST 5200 Series Coilovers for the 2004-2011 Lotus Exige (S2) are high-performance suspension components designed for precise handling and adjustable ride dynamics. These 2-way adjustable shock absorbers incorporate advanced features inspired by professional competition-grade 3-way shocks, allowing for independent adjustment of compression and rebound damping. The design emphasizes quick and straightforward setup, enabling drivers to fine-tune their suspension for optimal performance on both street and track. Constructed with durable materials and engineered for reliability, these coilovers deliver improved stability, reduced body roll, and enhanced cornering capabilities, making them suitable for enthusiasts seeking a customizable suspension upgrade.

Specifically engineered for the Lotus Exige S2 from 2004 to 2011, these coilovers are a direct bolt-on upgrade that replaces the factory shocks. They are ideal for track days, spirited driving, or performance tuning, offering adjustable damping to suit various driving conditions. The kit includes the shock absorbers with compression and rebound adjusters, providing comprehensive control over suspension behavior. Compatible with the vehicle’s chassis and suspension geometry, these coilovers are designed for easy installation and precise fitment, making them a versatile choice for drivers aiming to enhance handling and ride quality.

Overview

The 5200 Series for the 2004-2011 Lotus Exige (S2) are 2-way adjustable shock absorbers which are based upon competition 3-way adjustable shock absorbers. The 5200 shock absorbers are adjustable in compression and rebound.

The design of the compression adjuster is an evolution of the compression adjuster we provided for the American Grand-Am series for the last few years. The 5200 shock absorbers were designed to achieve a quick and easy set up, allowing separate adjustment of compression and rebound.

The 5200 Series AST uses an external canister. Throughout testing and competitions, the 5200 has been praised for its performance and capabilities, surpassing other major, more expensive brands and setting a new standard of 2 way damper. Its no surprise that the 5200 is fast becoming a favorite damper amongst race teams and track day enthusiasts world wide.
